Polly Morgan At Haunch Of Venison, London


Polly Morgan makes her living stuffing animals into bell-jars.

As a trained taxidermist, she creates fantastical, surreal and darkly humorous sculptures out of creatures she finds dead from accidental or natural causes: Birds sleep beneath tiny chandeliers, rats curl up in champagne flutes and Dalí’s lobster phone is updated via an upside-down pigeon.

Her first solo show can be seen at Haunch of Venison, London, entitled ‘Psychopomps’ until 25th September 2010.
